In the organizer's words:

gallery:concert #5 I Liam Grant

Liam Grant (Boston, MA) is a New England guitarist with a punk ethic steeped in the American Primitive tradition. His restless guitar explorations, modal epics and driving uptempo rags recall the influences of his teacher: Takoma Records and the path paved by his predecessors such as John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs and later Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose and others.
As he bridges this past, Grant evokes the essence of the landscape in which he grew up. Instrumental memoirs and reflections on the banks of the Merrimack River. Amoskeag and the place where the water flows around it. Salmon tails ascending the falls and black pearls from the river. The escape to Stratton-Eustis and the last night on the Dead River before the big flood.
